Ymar under a tree

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In Scholastic thought, the virtues as we know them, including justice, are
not real things in themselves, but human participation in eternal virtues
(the names of those escape me.)

Humans in Heaven will attain these eternal virtues, but will find that even
they are only the lesser shadows of divine virtues.

So ever someone who is "just" on Earth is not "just" in the same sense as
someone who is "just" in Heaven, and even that person would not be "just" in
the sense that God is just.
